Benefits of technology

[0012]The aim of an aspect of the invention is to at least partly solve these drawbacks by proposing a simple, quick, reliable and effective solution for linking two connection pins of an electronic module of a measurement sensor for a motor vehicle by way of a two-wire electrical component.

Problems solved by technology

Such loops are formed by bending, before fastening of the electrical component, this being complex and difficult to reproduce in terms of geometry and requiring expensive tooling.
Furthermore, the size of the component may prove to be incompatible with the space available around the connection pins once the electronic measurement module has been mounted in the body of the sensor.
The mounting of the electrical component may thus prove to be complex, difficult to reproduce, time-consuming and expensive, thereby exhibiting significant drawbacks.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]The measurement sensor according to an aspect of the invention is intended to be mounted in a motor vehicle. Such a sensor may, for example, be a sensor for measuring the speed of the vehicle, a sensor for measuring the position of a drive shaft of the vehicle, a sensor for measuring the rotational speed of a drive shaft of the vehicle, or a pressure measurement sensor.

[0048]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the measurement sensor 1 according to the invention comprises a body 10 and an electronic measurement module 20 mounted in said body 10.

[0049]The body 10 comprises a base 110 for fastening the sensor 1 in a motor vehicle, an element 120 for receiving the electronic measurement module 20, and sealing means. The base 110 comprises, first of all, a connecting portion 112, in this example taking the form of a barrel with an oblong cross section and made from material of the base 110 and extending along a longitudinal axis XX.

[0050]This connecting portion 112 is designed to enab...

Abstract

A measuring sensor for a motor vehicle, including a body and an electronic measurement module having an integrated circuit for measurement management and a plurality of connection pins that are able to be linked to an electrical communication network of a motor vehicle. The sensor includes an electrical component carrier to which an electrical component is fastened, the component having a first connection wire, connected electrically to a first portion of a first connection pin of the plurality of connection pins of the electronic measurement module and a second connecting wire, connected electrically to a second portion of a second connection pin of the plurality of connection pins of the electronic measurement module.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is the U.S. National Phase Application of PCT International Application No. PCT / EP2016 / 001325, filed Aug. 1, 2016, which claims priority to French Patent Application No. 1557787, filed Aug. 18, 2015, the contents of such applications being incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention pertains to the field of measurement sensors for motor vehicles, and relates more particularly to a method for manufacturing a measurement sensor for a motor vehicle, to a measurement sensor and to a motor vehicle comprising such a sensor.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In a motor vehicle, it is known to use sensors for measuring the position or the rotational speed of a drive shaft. By way of example, such a sensor may be a sensor for measuring the position of a motor vehicle camshaft, termed TPO sensor (“True Power On”, that is to say giving a position when it is powered up).[0004]Such a sensor includes, in a ...
